- FIG. 5 shows a circuit diagram including an auxiliary phase shifter illustrated in FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 shows a circuit diagram including the auxiliary phase shifter illustrated in FIG. 3 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 shows a block diagram including a delay locked loop according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the delay locked loop may include an auxiliary phase shifter 31 , a coarse delay line 32 , a phase blender 34 , a phase detector 35 , and a control circuit 36 .
- the delay locked loop may be of the register-controlled type and has a coarse/fine loop structure.
- the coarse delay line 32 in the form of a tapped delay line—may be used as a coarse loop, and the phase blender 34 may be used as a fine loop.
- the auxiliary phase shifter 31 may control a phase blending point of the phase blender 34 after the delay locked loop is initially locked.
- the auxiliary phase shifter 31 may be controlled by the control circuit 36 .
- the auxiliary phase shifter 31 may receive a clock signal CLK and may output the clock signal CLK without delaying it. Alternatively, the auxiliary phase shifter 31 may delay the clock signal CLK by a predefined time ⁇ /2 responsive to a control signal CNT generated by the control circuit 36 .
- the coarse delay line 32 may include a plurality of unit coarse delay cells connected in series, receive the output signal ICLK of the auxiliary phase shifter 31 , and sequentially delay the output signal ICLK by a unit delay time ⁇ through the unit coarse delay cells to output a plurality of delayed signals.
- the predefined time ⁇ /2 of the auxiliary phase shifter 31 may be set to half the unit delay time ⁇ of the unit coarse delay cells included in the coarse delay line 32 .
- the phase selector 33 may select two delayed signals ⁇ i and ⁇ j from the plurality of delayed signals.
- the two delayed signals ⁇ i and ⁇ j originating from two neighboring unit coarse delay cells among a plurality of unit coarse delay cells included in the coarse delay line 12 , may be selected responsive to an UP/DOWN signal generated by the control circuit 36 .
- the phase blender 34 may phase-blend the two delayed signals ⁇ i and ⁇ j and output a feedback signal OCLK having minimum phase error for fine locking.
- the phase detector 35 may compare the clock signal CLK to the feedback signal OCLK and generate a detection signal corresponding to a phase difference between the clock signal CLK and the feedback signal OCLK.
- the control circuit 36 may generate the control signal CNT for controlling the auxiliary phase shifter 31 and the UP/DOWN signal for controlling the phase selector 33 responsive to phase error information detected by the phase detector 35 .
- the control circuit 36 may control the phase blender 34 , and detect whether the delay locked loop is initially locked.
- the control circuit 36 may direct the auxiliary phase shifter 31 to output the clock signal CLK without a delay.
- the control circuit 36 may direct the phase blender 34 to detect a point where the two delayed signals ⁇ i and ⁇ j are phase-blended.
- the control circuit 36 may then direct the auxiliary phase shifter 31 to output the clock signal CLK either with or without a delay responsive to the detection result of the phase blender 34 . If the auxiliary phase shifter 31 is directed to output the clock signal CLK with a delay, the delay may be a predefined time, such as ⁇ /2.
- the control circuit 36 may direct the auxiliary phase shifter 31 to output the clock signal CLK without a delay. Otherwise, when the point is close to one of the first edges of the two delayed signals ⁇ i and ⁇ j , the control circuit 36 may direct the auxiliary phase shifter 31 to delay the clock signal CLK by the predefined time ⁇ /2, and output the delayed clock signal.
- the auxiliary phase shifter 31 may delay the clock signal CLK by the predefined time ⁇ /2 such that the two delayed signals ⁇ i and ⁇ j are not phase-blended near one of the first edges of the two delayed signals ⁇ i and ⁇ j , but rather, phase-blended in-between the first edges. Accordingly, bang-bang jitter is reduced in the delay locked loop according to an embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 4 .
- FIG. 5 shows a circuit diagram including an auxiliary phase shifter 31 A illustrated in FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the auxiliary phase shifter 31 A may include a delay cell 51 to delay the clock signal CLK by the unit delay time ⁇ , and a phase blender 53 to phase-blend the clock signal CLK and the output signal of the delay cell 51 .
- the auxiliary phase shifter 31 A may also include a selector 55 to select one of the clock signal CLK and the output signal of the phase blender 53 responsive to the control signal CNT, and to output the selected signal as an output signal ICLK.
- the output signal of the phase blender 53 may be delayed from the clock signal CLK by ⁇ /2. This is accomplished when the phase blender 53 phase-blends the clock signal CLK and the output signal of the delay cell 51 .
- the control signal CNT may be generated by the control circuit 36 illustrated in FIG. 3 .
- the control circuit 36 may generate the control signal CNT in a first logic state when the delay locked loop is not initially locked, and thus, selector 55 may select the clock signal CLK as the output signal ICLK.
- the control circuit 36 may generate the control signal CNT in the first logic state.
- the selector 55 may select the clock signal CLK and output it as the output signal ICLK.
- the control circuit 36 may generate the control signal CNT in a second logic state. Accordingly, the selector 55 may select the output signal of the phase blender 53 corresponding to the signal delayed from the clock signal CLK by ⁇ /2, and output it as the output signal ICLK.
- FIG. 6 shows a circuit diagram including the auxiliary phase shifter 31 B illustrated in FIG. 3 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the auxiliary phase shifter 31 B may include a delay cell 61 , a first phase blender 62 , a second phase blender 63 , a third phase blender 64 , and a selector 65 .
- the auxiliary phase shifter 31 B may include two additional phase blenders (e.g., 62 and 64 ) beyond those shown in the auxiliary phase shifter 31 A illustrated in FIG. 5 .
- One purpose for including the additional phase blenders is to make the load of input terminals of the first phase blender 62 substantially equal to the load of input terminals of the second phase blender 63 .
- Another purpose is to make the load of an output terminal of the first phase blender 62 substantially equal to the load of an output terminal of the second phase blender 63 .
- the delay cell 61 may delay the clock signal CLK by the unit delay time ⁇ .
- the first phase blender 62 may receive the clock signal CLK through two input terminals, phase-blend the two signals input through the two input terminals, and output the phase-blended signal to the selector 65 .
- the output signal of the first phase blender 62 is not delayed from the clock signal CLK.
- the second phase blender 63 may phase-blend the clock signal CLK and the output signal of the delay cell 61 , and output the phase-blended signal to the selector 65 .
- the output signal of the second phase blender 63 may be delayed from the clock signal CLK by ⁇ /2. This is accomplished when the second phase blender 63 phase-blends the clock signal CLK and the output signal of the delay cell 61 .
- the third phase blender 64 may receive the output signal of the delay cell 61 through two input terminals and may phase-blend the two signals input through the input terminals.
- the selector 65 may select one of the output signals of the first and second phase blenders 62 and 63 responsive to a control signal CNT, and output the selected signal as the output signal ICLK.
- the control signal CNT may be identical to the control signal CNT illustrated in FIG. 5 and may be generated by the control signal 36 illustrated in FIG. 3 .
- the delay locked loop controls two delayed signals to be phase-blended between first edges of the two delayed signals (after the delay locked loop is initially locked) when phase-blending would otherwise be carried out near one of the first edges of the two delayed signals. This reduces bang-bang jitter in the delay locked loop.
